Good evening! I currently have a .223 AI and would like to have another built and wondered if there were any recommendations for gunsmiths that have had great success with this cartridge. Any recommendations are appreciated. Thanks!

Gentlemen, I have a .223 Ackley Improved rifle I purchased from another Hide member about a year ago. It has a Rock 1:8 twist barrel and to date I have used it strictly for target shooting and have had excellent results with 77 gr. Lapua scenars. I am thinking about taking it coyote hunting...

Guys, I've been reloading for almost a year now and the lot of 175 gr. SMK's for my .308 has finally depleted. With that being said, I just received some new bullets and ran a few rounds set up exactly as before on my Forster Co-Ax press using Redding Competition bushing dies. When I...

I know it's really difficult to get any H4350 or Varget right now, but where should I place my BACKORDER and hope they have it in stock quicker than other places? Thanks!

I am wanting to try Varget with 140 gr. SMK's in a 6.5 Creedmoor bolt gun. I am having a very tough time finding load data. Any help is appreciated.

I took delivery of a custom 6.5x47 Lapua recently. I've got 100 rounds down the tube and have setteled on 37.9 grains of varget with an average speed of 2835 fps using CCI BR small rifle primers and shooting 123 gr. scenars. I was able to get my hands on a couple thousand CCI 450 magnum...

Quick question...I need to buy bushings for the new Redding Competition Die's I recently purchased. Redding's catalog says to measure the outside neck diameter with a loaded round and subtract .001" to .002". Redding technical support says to subtract .002". What do you guys think? .001"...

Quick question: After you started to load a group of rounds do you use a concentricity gauge to see how you're doing? Also, where is the best place along the bullet and/or brass to measure? What are your expectations regarding how much is too much run out? Thanks, Brad

Guys, I just received my new unfired custom built 6.5 x 47 Lapua and I am starting the process of doing hand loads. I have only loaded 300 or so rounds thus far for other rifles and definately still consider myself quite the novice despite doing a lot of study. My gunsmith told me my...

Guys, I recently put a reloading room in my 3rd car garage that has a large entry way (appx 8 foot wide) from my 2 car garage. The room is about 12 feet wide by 18 foot long. I live in Indiana where it can get very hot and humid during the summer and pretty cold during the winter. I am...

Okay, I've had two suppliers back out on my order of 6.5 x 47 Lapua brass. I have an order with Powder Valley Shooting Supply that probably won't ship for a month or so. They say they have it in stock, but they have over a months worth of orders to process and will not move mine up in the...

Guys, For those that have 6.5 x 47 Lapua's, what twist rate do you run and why??? Thanks!

Guys, I got my hands on some unfired Lapua .308 brass...Would you guys bother uniforming primer pockets, chamfering neck, etc. before loading the first batch??? The brass just seems so perfect. Thanks!

Guys, Doesn anyone know who is stocking 6.5 Lapua 123 Sceners presently as well as Winchester or Federal primers? Thanks!

I need some help relative to the best way to clean your high end long range rifles. I know there are probably many threads regarding proper cleaning techniques so feel free to direct me. What do you do, and when do you do it? When I've asked a fee people I've gotten every answer under the...

Guys, I'm looking to buy a Giraud trimmer. Any recommendations on the best place to buy or is giraudtool.com the only place to purchase? What about buying used? Thanks!

I've been shooting long range for a couple of years now and have been buying match grade reloads that have been very accurate. However, I am jumping into reloading and would like to find a Hide member near me in Indiana that wouldn't mind giving me some tips. PM me if you have any interest.

Gentlemen, I hope everyone had a great Christmas/Hanakuh/Festivus! I was wondering if you guys had any recommendations for long range rifle shooting classes. I have been into the sport for a couple of years now and am basically self taught and if I don't say so myself I have done pretty well...
